The 1952 Oswald Honkers.

Camptown Racers (199kb)- The Honkers first single. Recorded in the bathroom of Clownie's Meat Sandwiches in the summer of 1972. It never charted.

Barkin' At My Dog Again (891kb) - This was the first single from the album "I got the stomach, he got the pump, the drummer got older" in 1983. It featured Jacky Pee on background vocals.

Bad Moon Rising (865kb) - This was the Honker's biggest single. Although it never charted, it was talked about quite a bit - even John Fogerty, the writer of the song, had a few choice words about it. Unfortunately, this is a G-rated web page.

Bad Moon Rising (reprise) (743kb) - The B-side to the single. Notice the jazz influence throughout this version.

The Stomach Song (483kb) - A real crowd raiser, the Honkers usually end their shows with this song. Sometimes, they pass out Rolaids to the crowd while they play it. Sometimes, they just pass out while they play it. Taken from their "I got the stomach" album.

Light My Fire (1450kb) - Dark & mysterious like the original version, this Doors cover features Jacky Pee on backing vocals. FIRE! Prviously unreleased.

The Lollipop Song (924kb) - This is the song that the Honkers hate to play. Many of their fans asked the Honkers to write a song about lollipops, the Honkers favorite sweet. So they did.

A-Day, Not V-Day (46kb) - Originally recorded for the Annual Holday Songwriter's Foundation, this little holiday jingle never quite caught on. It was sold to a farmer & lost in a bitter lawsuit in 1976.

Break It Down, Buddy! (135kb) - Taken from a children's television commercial, this was designed to teach kids to "shape up!" Crime rates tripled while it aired in the summer of 1977.

Friday Nite Blues (1590kb) - Recorded while the Honkers were disbanded in 1985, this song is a telling historical tale of how the breakup between Oswald & Jacky Pee had driven him into depression.

Excerpt from "The Bloody Armpit From Hell" (33kb) - When the 1952 Oswald Honkers broke up, drummer Oswald Gordon Liddy made a brief acting appearance in this movie.

Paul's Ultimate Ravioli's commercial (135kb) - Another jingle from the mid-70's. This was recorded for their favorite meal. Paul didn't like it & he never used it.

Silly Love Songs (830kb) - This song was recorded as a tribute to their love for Jacky Pee. Even though she sang it, she hated the Honkers for recording it & Paul McCartney kicked her in the shin when she met him. 1981.

Snoogle All Over You (798kb) - Perhaps the angriest song the Honkers ever did, this was taken off of the Pump album as well.

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Around The Old Oak Tree (312kb) - Tony Orlando was the Honkers favorite singer, next to Cliff Richard. Recorded as the B-side to Camptown Racers.

Tommorrow (261kb) - Another outtake from the Pump sessions. Notice the background singers trying to warn Oswald that he was on fire!

The Viking Song (414kb) - Oswald Gordon Liddy was a descendent of vikings. This was his tribute. He didn't even play on it.
